Freedom of Speech is DEAD in the USA
An account sharing posts from former US President Donald Trump’s ‘desk’ page – and operated by his PAC – was banned by Twitter after angry Democrats flooded the platform with demands to “#RemoveTrumpJack”. Freedom of Speech is DEAD in the USA.
Twitter had banned Trump’s personal account in January, while he was still the sitting president, citing concern about how his posts might be received or interpreted on and off platform. Dorsey’s company also echoed the Democrat accusation that Trump had “incited violence” at the US Capitol on January 6. Other social media companies – Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Snapchat – quickly followed suit.
YouTube has even banned “the voice of Donald Trump,” deleting videos and even accounts that posted any interviews or recordings of the former president. Facebook’s removal of Trump was upheld on Wednesday by its “oversight board,” an international panel the Menlo Park behemoth outsourced its censorship decisions to.
Before its removal, the account was restricted over alleged violations of Twitter’s following policy which restricts people to following up to 400 accounts a day – 1,000 if they’re verified – and 5,000 in total as Twitter once again breached the Constitution as it works with Democrats to usher in a new brand of Socialism.
The hashtag, aimed at Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, had over 20,000 tweets on Wednesday, hours after the account @DJTDesk appeared on the platform. The account explicitly said it was “Not Trump Tweeting” but posting content generated by the 45th US president on his own website, called “From the Desk of Donald J. Trump.”
The first tweet from the account was dated 12:42 am on Wednesday, just hours after Trump’s return from the virtual wilderness. Until it was banned, it reposted content from the blog, but also mocked the critics calling for its removal as “LOOPY LIBERALS.” © Twitter / @DJTDesk
“Former President Donald J. Trump is not Tweeting. Any post made, aside from replies like this one, are direct copies from the [desk],” the account said in one of the first tweets. “Posts are made by Save America on behalf of the 45th POTUS, then distributed onto this platform.”
Another tweet simply said “Donald J. Trump,” preceded by the words “trigger warning.”
AI is the Neat Handwriting of the Illiterate
A model in the hands of someone who has read the filing and walked the plant is a clerk. The same model, speaking for someone who has done neither, is a disguise. On AI slop, phantom citations and factslop, why finish stopped being evidence of work, and the containment layer KXCO built so a machine cannot speak as the institution until a source is attached.
Worthship: Do Not Conform to the Age
Worthship is the older English word for worship, and it means to ascribe worth. Bishop Robert Barron preached Romans 12 on 30 August. This essay follows the text into the prison letters, and puts two questions to a graph: do the four readings of that Sunday agree, and was Paul free or in chains when he wrote about despair?
The Truth in All Its Ugliness Must Survive
A majority vote does not determine the truth. Consensus is a mood, gossip is a sport, and a model will write the pretty version for free. Why the ugly number has to survive, why a record beats a dashboard, and what KXCO was built to keep standing when the room changes its mind.
Don't Be the Best, Be the Only: Winning in an AI World
AI is repricing competence downward. What it cannot reproduce is a life. The case for remaining non-fungible, why friction still produces the best ideas, and what it means to build AI systems that keep the human intellect in them.
